'RF04-Curatorial and Artistic Research' is a policy brochure produced by Victoria Walsh as Principal Investigator of the RCA / Mela FP7 research project for the EU project officer to receive as the final public analysis of the research findings of the project.

Reflecting on the challenges and opportunities of current curatorial and artistic practice, the research highlights areas of museum practice and organisation that are still rooted in the 20th century and urgently need reconsidering to ensure the cultural relevance and vibrancy of museums of modern and contemporary art in the 21st century.
